Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion new NWEA MAP norms

You said two posts ago that he had his first NWEA math test on 9/20. Did he have it then or today?

Based on the 2008 norms, a math score of 203 would be at the 82nd-84th percentile for a beginning third grader, meaning that at least 82% of third graders didn't do as well. So yes, it's a solid score; he's in the top fifth of his grade.

They have pushed back the RIT scale norms release to October...

The 2011 NWEA RIT Scale Norms Study document will be available on the NWEA Reports Site in October 2011. At that time, you may login and download the study.

Thanks for the update!

The 2011 rit scales are in.. I just don't know how to pull them...

The 2011 NWEA RIT Scale Norms Study is available on the NWEA Reports Site now. You may login and download the study. These updated norms replace the 2008 norming data.

I think at this point, you have to be one of their partners to access the study. In other words, you have to have a log in.

I am waiting for them to pop up either here or on the Pickens website

I can't find the full report yet so I hope CAMom's link comes through for us soon!

Here we go... Looks like NWEA released the study publicly this time. No password required: http://www.nwea.org/sites/www.nwea.org/files/resources/NWEA_2011_RIT_Scale_Norms.pdf

This is the big 261 page document we've been waiting for!

Thank you!

Interesting information... the upper ends compared to 2008 have increased dramatically!

Thanks . I noticed that my dd11's middle school went back and retroactively changed the percentiles on the MAPS taken in past years to fit with the percentiles on this current chart. I'm not sure that is legit, but whatever.
